For $60k you can get a nice used car. It doesn't really matter what you buy, so long as you like it. Just remember: 1) Don't buy it sight unseen; 2) Don't buy it without driving it first; 3) Don't buy it without having somebody who really knows that particular breed of Cobra, and that particular engine, look it over, on a lift, and he has to take it out for a drive. The best Cobra mechanic in the world can't determine that it's a good car without doing both. If the owner refuses to allow that, then leave the car alone.
